After smelling skunk, 1 Border and the skunk came out. I thought my other dog was in the gutter maybe killing skunk babies so wasn&#39;t overly concerned. It took a few minutes to pull off the plywood and my 4 yr old Border was seizuring. Carrying her to the house , vomitting and diarrhea, the seizure subsided. She was staggering but appeared to improve. Bathing with H2O2, Baking soda and Dawn dishsoap. No appetite. She slept with me and in the morning as I lifted her off the bed she was very unbalanced with head bobbling and staggered gait. I took her to our Vet and they said her Red blood cell had Heinz Body Hemolytic Anemia. Now 2 days later she is still staggering and slight bobbling her head. I know she has never had a seizure before and she was not exposed to any other toxins. She was on IV Lactated Ringers. She is having daily CBC&#39;s, and on Denamarin (amino acid methionine), Acetylcysteine and Prednisone. Today is day three and the unbalanced movement and head bobbling is totally normal. She does not have her normal energy but is eager to eat and drink. I take her back for a repeat CBC. Her color of her mucous membranes are a nice pink color so today I am much more relaxed about her outcome.

If this happens (or to prevent it from happening) - reach in, take hold of the tongue, pull it slightly out of the mouth, then close the mouth and hold it shut so that the teeth hold the tongue in place.smartdogshttp://smartdogs.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-11189593207662318322010-10-23T19:58:31.636-04:002010-10-23T19:58:31.636-04:00Once again, an excellent, important and must read ...Once again, an excellent, important and must read article regardless whether you work your dogs or not.

Some people say &quot;oh, this will never happen to my dog.&quot; My reply is one never knows where or when it will happen and what happens when it does and you don&#39;t know how. To me its like every mother should know CPR and the Heimlich manuver just in case.<br /><br />Debi and the Texas JRTs<br />unsprayed so far and walking with crossed fingers.<br /><br />PS I&#39;d rather give CPR to my dogs than a lot of people I knowseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054814598250286797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-63157065419588874602009-09-19T10:43:32.019-04:002009-09-19T10:43:32.019-04:00I have actually been skunked.

She didn&#39;t mind being sprayed at all. She would rush in, grab it, and shake it to break its neck.<br /><br />One evening I had her out for an evening walk, and she dove into the undergrowth that was no more the four feet from the trail. As I walked past that stand of undergrowth, I saw her shaking something black and white, and all of a sudden, I got hit full force with skunk musk.<br /><br />So my dog actually got me skunked.retrievermanhttp://retrieverman.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-32842168019016299892008-10-04T21:47:00.000-04:002008-10-04T21:47:00.000-04:00This is great!
